Please pray for me brothers and sisters, I am in need of prayers!
May God provides you all your needs.
Grace and peace from our Lord Jesus Christ. “And my God will supply your every need in accordance to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.” -Philippians 4:19-20.
2 years late, but I guess we all are always in need of prayer.
So may the Lord our God, our Creator, may our Lord Jesus Christ, our Redeemer, through the Holy Spirit, our Comforter, be with you, and may the Lord be with his mercy and love over you. Amen!
For the sake of Our Lord Jesus Christ's sorrowful passion, my God have mercy on Casey, on us, and on the whole world. Amen
After two years of cancer surgeries & treatment, a divorce, and the death of my mother my cry’s were gut wrenching. I cried for another two years. Then I quit my job and moved back to be near my family to be loved and heal. Spent valuable time volunteering at St Vincent De Paul. It was a very blessed period.
❤️❤️❤️
Saint Thomas Aquinas, pray for us.
Thank you all for your prayers as I had to tell my parents of my conversion to the true Church of Jesus Christ, the Roman Catholic Church. It wasn’t easy but it was right. Glory to Jesus Christ, who gives us grace for every trial. Thank you to the Most Blessed Virgin Mary and to Saint Michael (my patron) for their unending prayers and intercessions. Thank you Matt, Fr. Schmitz, Fr. Pine, and Fr. Favole-Mihm at Mater Dei in Dallas for your work and prayers. Pax Christi.
Wonderful, Jayson!
Nice, congrats man. Way to be courageous and live the truth. 👍
God bless
So pleased you shared the out come.
You did have people praying for you.
Hi, Jayson.
Thanks for your comment. Would it be suitable for you to share some of the elements of that encounter and its aftermath?
It's funny how the episode ended with St. Bonaventure, because I love St. Bonaventure for his being a patron of bowel issues. I have the weakest of stomachs; issuesof my stomach arise in the least favorable of times and the most unwanted of circumstances (not sure why), and for many times I've asked St Bonaventure for a little help. I'm pretty sure he is my good holy friend in heaven.
Considering coming home to the Catholic Church and this channel has played a big part. Pray for God to lead me to the best denomination 🙏
I cry every time I sing the Salve Maria. Something about it, it has power over me. It moves my soul and senses.
“With thoroughness and charm!”😄😄😄👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻💞
I'm so grateful for St. Bonaventure's intercession! I have friends and family who have suffered in gruesome, saint-like ways with intestinal issues, and I think you need a powerhouse saint interceding for these strong, debilitating illnesses. Thank you for reminding me of his virtues!
I used to get a book of the month when I was a kid that were about the saints. St. Thomas was my favorite. the Book was called "The Dumb Ox." Oh, I wrote this before I heard the end. I had forgotten that Chesterton wrote it.
My husband and I aren't Catholic, but found this really interesting.
Btw, all I need to do to get my hubby to weep is put on Star Trek II. The sacrifice scene gets him every time.
I’ve always loved 🥰 SAINT Holy THOMAS AQUINAS!!! Even just saying or hearing his name pulls a string in my heart that draws me closer to OUR LORD CHRIST 🤍YESHUA!🙏🏻❤️🕯🕯🕯
That opening prayer was something else! 👌
Your best video yet! You've set a new bar for yourself Matt. Educational, enjoyable, and inspirational
Thank you Matt for this talk on Thomas Aquinas and the ebook. All the best to you and your family in Steubenville Ohio. The new studio looks great and your joy is evident.
I'm halfway through The Death of Ivan Illych and haven't cried, though I definitely teared up reading Family Happiness (also Tolstoy) such an incredible book!
Haven't read that yet. Thanks for the suggestion.
this was humbling, entertaining and very interesting!! I bet a lot of people will tune in if Matt makes a regular Biography of different saints🙏🏻☺️
This is amazing 🙏🏻💙
Hey #Thursday , Can you make a "Short" for the opening prayer?
Beautiful prayer and the piety expressed by #MattFradd is refreshing... as you see in the comments, I'm not alone.
I was completely enthralled listening to this! I should be ashamed as a Catholic, t I say that I know nothing about what St. Thomas Aquinis teaches. I haven't read anything he has written because he intimidates me! I know me, and I know I won't understand him!
Thank you for giving me this basic understanding..I am totally loving him! Though I will be humble enough to admit...I wouldn't have understood without your help! God bless! ❤
We still sing some of the hymns he wrote,or translations of them, especially on Maundy Thursday and Corpus Christi. A;so the hymns O Salutaris and Tantum Ergo sang at Benediction are by St Thomas Aquinas.
Hi Mat... Thank for sharing your knowledge in easy way; the way you breakdown makes me understand.
I've been following you for almost a year or two.
Greeting from the countryside, in Eastern Indonesia.
You got it, Casey
Sancte Thoma de Aquino, ora pro nobis 🙏! Great video, Matt!
I thought I knew something about Saint Thomas Aquinas. I am finishing William of Tocco's biography/hagiography. Now I know something about Saint Thomas.
Good stuff... thanks.
I am on Second part of The Second part of the Summa. Question 1 Of Faith.
Page1163....
Flannery O'Conner read one article a day.
Great,insight can be gained by listening to the Thomistic Institute lectures.
Thank you Matt
Maybe something about St. Augustine of Hippo also? 🙌🏼
Wonderful Chat today! can you please share the titles of the books mentioned? that was quite a fast talk and could not catch them all.
Itd be useful if you stated his age at the milestones of his biography
Great job matt
Love your content
A gentle creature
Happy feast day today, 1/28/23.
hello from bristol , uk
The father of modern natural law in my opinion
can you please list the Cantena Aurea book? there are many to choose from and would like to get the correct one thank you
Where can we get the transcript of the short prayer at 3:54 ?
Would you say that St. Thomas Aquinas would agree with the "3 Reasons to Love St. Joseph" we give on the "Josephology" channel of why the World needs St. Joseph?
I need to watch this, knee deep in the summa and lost half the time...
Why do you make the Sign of the Cross in the Orthodox / Greek Catholic manner, rather than in the Latin Church manner i.e. horizontally from left to right ? Do you belong to the Greek Rite Catholic Church ?
Thanks for any clarifications
Wondering the same thing
Matt Fradd and his family attend a Byzantine Rite church, not Latin Rite.
He’s becoming quite popular in the Reformed Protestant community.
As a teacher sits on the toilet with bowel issues…😂 pray for me
Hey, is there an abridged version of Acquinas that covers the prima profundis of his life work?
Chesterton's biography of Aquinas isn't a bad place to start. It's really less a biography than a discussion of Aquinas's place in western thought. Then "A Summa of the Summa" by Peter Kreeft.
@@palamabron2481 Great, thank you, I'll look for a copy of both.
Just happened upon this channel while researching Aquinas to aid in study of his Summa. I don’t believe in saints or elevated humans, but I do believe, with all my heart, soul, and strength, in GOD.
True we cannot “know” GOD with our puny minds, but we can know all about Him by His Works which is all that exists-so it is pretty easy to be impressed by all that miraculous stuff. Lots more to say, but it’s pretty ridiculous to talk about GOD with text messages.
"Go Russia"
that aged well
Well, the world hasn’t ended yet, so we haven’t yet seen Russia in its final state, and even now many in Russia are good people.
You were in San Marcos, Texas recently?? That's where i am! Why didn't anyone tell me! Did you speak at St. John's?
Our Lady of Wisdom...sorry you missed him and his wife last weekend.
It looks like you guys used all the arrows from canva for this thumbnail 😂
yeeeeeeeep
Yet another remedy for sorrow is to have a pint with the angelic doctor.

This video serves as a vehicle for a

for a
"DATING SERVICE"
of all things !!!!!.
Funny to admire St. Thomas for not straw-manning his opponent and for rejecting bad arguments for his own beliefs-and yet also have on deceitful grifters like Matt Walsh and Dave Rubin.
Brilliant
I thought you are talking about St Thomas? It’s looks you are talking about dating as well.
He is thanking a sponsor by promoting their dating site, that’s all.
43:50 Matt, you are saying that, according to Aquinas, Jesus had a guardian angel.
Totally false: in Summa I, Q. 113, Art. 4, a much sober Aquinas objects against this very statement writing that:
"Christ as man was guided immediately by the Word of God: wherefore He needed not be guarded by an angel. Again as regards His soul, He was a comprehensor, although in regard to His passible body, He was a wayfarer. In this latter respect it was right that He should have not a guardian angel as superior to Him, but a ministering angel as inferior to Him. Whence it is written (Matthew 4:11) that "angels came and ministered to Him."
Still, can you point me the article that backs your...funny idea? Thanks!
Appreciate your video, but I (and many others who what to learn truth) would recommend to be more direct in videos. This video is about Aquainus and still I learned nothing of what he presented. This video is more about how he presented his ideas.
There was no death before the fall. All beings were 'vegan'. "And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so."
It's kind of funny, been watching this channel a lot lately and just realized you are the guy who talks about porn.
Bro that dating website is cringe as hecc. I might be projecting but lmao.
@38:21 I think Ravi took that advice a bit too far.....
Too soon?
I do think he was a great man but I also understand that he supported execution of heretics. Kind of hard to overlook unless you also silently put that as the 8th reason.
Mmmmh, then we must ask ourselves these following questions.
What does St Aquinas mean with heretics and under what circumstances does he accepts it.
A heretic went against the faith and would die under his rule. Recently we had a writer nearly killed because of his writings. Same.
@@havefunbesafe All right, but should we then throw out all his writings because of the detail that he didn't like heretics?
@@johnskip2694 absolutely not…he was a significant writer that contributed to the foundation of western literature, prolific at that.👍🏼
Isn't it wasn't "bloody" in English a swear word referencing the Blood of Christ? Avoid its use.
Dominicanes(Dominicans)=Hounds of God
What is God?
God is The Creator.
Cry for meaningful happenings, not for anything!
“PRE-TRUMP!” 😁😁😁
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🇺🇸💔🕊❤️❤️❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🕯🕯🕯🕊
MAY OUR LORD YESHUA HAVE MERCY ON US AND OUR NATION……. 💔💔💔💔
